Description
The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) invites applications for Specialized Alcohol Research Centers designed to foster interdisciplinary, collaborative research on alcohol misuse, Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD), and associated health consequences across the lifespan. These centers are expected to generate a critical mass of researchers focused on innovative or understudied topics relevant to the NIAAA mission, emphasizing interdisciplinary coordination, cooperation among independent investigators, and the mentorship of early-career researchers.
Centers should address a broad range of topics, including but not limited to: the nature, etiology, genetics, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of alcohol misuse and AUD; alcohol-related end-organ diseases; and the biomedical, psychosocial, and economic impacts of alcohol use. The program encourages methodological innovation and the development of new research approaches and technologies to advance the field.
